  • Someone needs what you know. Will you risk saying it? with Wiebke Tasch

    Someone needs what you know. Will you risk saying it? with Wiebke Tasch
    2026/09/08
    Most people don't struggle because they have nothing to say.They struggle because they're not yet convinced anyone needs to hear it.We wait until we feel more experienced, more qualified, more confident, or more certain. But what if confidence doesn't have to come before contribution? What if confidence grows because we choose to contribute?In this episode of Deals with Heels, Debra Bowers sits down with Wiebke Tasch, founder and CEO of Digital Authors, to explore what happens when we finally begin trusting our own voice—and allow other people to benefit from what we've learned.Wiebke shares how writing her first book began not with confidence or a publishing strategy, but with a personal need to put her experiences into words. That book eventually became a bestseller and helped launch the publishing career she has today.Debra and Wiebke also explore why capable people—particularly women—can struggle to claim their expertise, how years of expectations and people-pleasing can teach us to water ourselves down, and why sharing what we know can change us as much as the people who receive it.Because sometimes the experience you dismiss as “just my life” contains exactly the insight someone else needs.And sometimes confidence doesn't arrive before we speak.It develops because we finally do. Key Topics- Why capable people struggle to stand behind what they know- Trusting your own voice before you feel completely confident- Why our lived experience can feel ordinary to us- The fear of being judged, misunderstood, or disliked- How people-pleasing can cause us to water down our ideas- Women, authority, and permission to claim expertise- Separating other people's reactions from our responsibility- Why sharing our ideas changes us- Writing as a way to process and understand experience- How articulating your ideas reveals connections between them- Why confidence can follow contribution instead of preceding it- Recognizing the value of your own story- Turning lived experience into something that helps others- Why one meaningful impact can matter more than thousands of passive views- Writing a book as a transformative process for the author- Using your story to create frameworks that help other people- Listening when an idea continues calling you forward- Why market research should happen before writing and positioning a book- Matching expertise with existing market demandResourcesConnect with Wiebke TaschWiebke shares resources for prospective authors through her website, including a free course based on the Hero's Journey and a market-analysis resource for people considering a book.She is also active on LinkedIn and invites listeners to connect with her there.

  • When Everyone Resists Your Idea: Leadership, Trust, and the Courage to Listen with Tina Larsson

    When Everyone Resists Your Idea: Leadership, Trust, and the Courage to Listen with Tina Larsson
    2026/09/01
    DescriptionEvery leader eventually reaches a moment when they can see what needs to change.The harder part is helping everyone else see it too.Organizations, teams, and communities rarely resist change simply because the idea is bad. Change asks people to give up something familiar, accept uncertainty, learn something new, invest time and energy—and trust that they can handle whatever happens next.In this episode of Deals with Heels, Debra Bowers sits down with Tina Larsson, co-founder of The Folson Group, to explore leadership, governance, resistance to change, and what HOA and co-op boards can teach us about leading people through difficult decisions.Drawing from Tina's experience advising condominium and co-op boards—and her own experience helping transform her building's board—Debra and Tina discuss why volunteer boards can become reactive, how competing priorities derail long-term planning, why the loudest complainer may still have something important to say, and why outside perspective can sometimes break through problems insiders have been raising for years.They also explore an uncomfortable leadership question:What if people aren't resisting your idea because they're afraid of change? What if they're resisting because your idea isn't actually the best one?Because leading change requires more than conviction.It requires trust, listening, discernment, communication, and enough confidence to reconsider your own thinking when the evidence tells you to.Key Topics- Why people resist necessary change- Fear of change versus fear of our capacity to handle change- Why familiarity can feel easier than intentional change- How HOA and co-op boards make complex decisions- The challenges of volunteer leadership- Why organizations become trapped in reactive problem-solving- Proactive versus reactive leadership- Building trust before asking people to follow- Listening as a leadership skill- How leaders build demand for change- Why credibility and consistency matter- The value of outside perspective- When complainers stop being heard- How emotional history creates listening blind spots- Using data to build support for change- How to tell whether resistance is fear—or your idea is wrong- Separating personal investment from good decision-making- Prioritizing infrastructure over appearances- Creating long-term plans that survive leadership turnover- Starting with the end in mindResourcesConnect with Tina LarssonThe Folson Grouphttps://thefolsongroup.com/Living the High LifeTina Larsson's book about helping co-op and condominium boards move from reactive management toward proactive governance.The first chapter and additional free resources are available through The Folson Group website.

  • When Betrayal Changes How You Trust Yourself with Dr. Debi Silber

    When Betrayal Changes How You Trust Yourself with Dr. Debi Silber
    2026/08/25
    DescriptionWhen someone betrays our trust, we expect it to change how we see them.What we may not expect is how deeply it can change the way we see ourselves.If I trusted someone and I was wrong, can I trust my own judgment? My intuition? My decisions? And what happens when those questions quietly follow us into our leadership, relationships, work, and willingness to connect with other people?In this episode of Deals with Heels, Debra Bowers sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute and researcher behind one of the largest studies on betrayal, to explore why betrayal is different from other forms of trauma and what can happen when it remains unresolved.Debi explains how betrayal can shatter not only a relationship, but our internal system for deciding who and what is safe. Together, Debra and Debi explore functional freeze, repeated patterns, vulnerability, emotional avoidance, self-trust, and why highly capable people can appear successful while still carrying unresolved experiences beneath the surface.They also challenge a quality leaders are often praised for: resilience.Because sometimes working harder, staying strong, exercising more, pushing through, and continuing to perform aren't signs that we've healed.Sometimes they're very effective ways of avoiding what still needs our attention.And perhaps moving forward isn't about becoming who we were before.Perhaps the opportunity is to rebuild something different.Key Topics- Betrayal as the breaking of spoken or unspoken trust- Why betrayal can affect self-trust and discernment- Post-Betrayal Syndrome- Why unresolved betrayal can repeat through different relationships- Functional freeze and the appearance of functioning well- How betrayal affects leadership and decision-making- Why high performers can hide emotional avoidance inside achievement- The difference between resilience and transformation- When hard work becomes a form of numbing or distraction- Why “fine” can become a place where people get stuck- Familiarity versus safety- Rebuilding identity after betrayal- Trust accumulation and Compound Confidence- How past betrayal can influence present relationships and buying behavior- The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery- Moving beyond recovery toward transformationResourcesConnect with Dr. Debi SilberThe Post Betrayal Transformation Institutehttps://thepbtinstitute.com/Trust AgainDr. Debi Silber's book for those navigating betrayal and rebuilding trust.UnstuckDr. Debi Silber's resource for coaches, counselors, therapists, and practitioners seeking to better understand the Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery.Books are available through Amazon and linked through the PBT Institute website.
